[Soot-list] use soot in new eclipse plugin

[Eric Bodden]

Hi Jian.


It's hard to say. I guess you may not be using the API correctly. Are
you setting Soot's classpath in any way?

You should also have a look at the Soot eclipse plugin to see how this
could work: http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/eclipse/updates/

The class you want to be looking at there is the following:

/soot/eclipse/ca.mcgill.sable.soot/src/ca/mcgill/sable/soot/launching/SootThread.java

The plugin does some special magic to set the classpath from whatever
is set in the plugin's options for Soot. In particular, it uses an
URLClassLoader to load and run the correct copy of Soot.

Hope that helps,
Eric
